The bonding behaviors of the plate-concrete interface of a composite structure consisting of a concrete block in the middle and two cement plates at both sides play a key role in its overall mechanical performance. In this paper, the authors conduct 3 groups of push-out shear tests on a total of 39 composite samples to assess the bonding performance. The influence of the FRP cement plates, the concrete strength, and the ribs installed in the cement plate on the interfacial shear strength, the relative bond-slip, strain, and the failure modes of the composite samples is recorded and analyzed. The results show that (1) the shear strength and bond-slip performance of the interface are largely improved if the GFRP/BRRP cement plates are used; (2) shear strength of the interface increases with the concrete strength, while the deformation behaviors show no significant improvement; (3) an inclusion of the ribs to the interface enhances the shear strength and shear stiffness but decreases the maximum relative slip at failure; (4) most of the samples present the shear failures along the interface; however, the bending shear failure prior to the interface shear failure is also observed on the concrete block for low concrete strength samples and the samples with ribs; and (5) regression method is used to develop a constitutive model of the stress-slip at the interface to describe the relationship between the shear strength with the cement plates, the concrete strength, and ribs.

A New Technique

Even though the application of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) as a concrete reinforcement becomes more common with various advantages, one of the inherent shortcomings may include its brittleness and on-site fabrication and handling. Therefore, the shape of FRP products has been limited only to a straight bar or sheet type. This study suggests a new technique to use glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars for the shear reinforcement in concrete beams, and investigates its applicability. The developed GFRP stirrup was used in the concrete instead of ordinary steel stirrups. The experimental program herein evaluates the effectiveness of the GFRP stirrups with respect to different shear reinforcing ratios under three different shear span-to-depth testing schemes. At the same shear reinforcing ratio, the ultimate loads of the beams were similar regardless the shear reinforcing materials. Once a major crack occurs in concrete, however, the failure modes seemed to be relatively brittle with GFRP stirrups. From the measured strains on the surface of concrete, the shear stresses sustained by the stirrups were calculated and the efficiency of the GFRP stirrups was shown to be 91% to 106% depending on the shear span-to-depth ratio.

Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer

Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer (BFRP) bars have bright potential application in concrete structures subjected to marine environment due to their superior corrosion resistance. Available literatures mainly focused on the mechanical properties of BFRP concrete structures, while the bond-slip behavior of BFRP bars, which is a key factor influencing the safety and service life of ocean concrete structures, has not been clarified yet. In this paper, effects of BFRP bars size, corrosion age, and concrete strength on the bond-slip behavior of BFRP bars in concrete cured in artificial seawater were investigated, and then an improved Bertero, Popov, and Eligehausen (BPE) model was employed to describe the bond-slip behavior of BFRP bars in concrete. The results indicated that the maximum bond stress and corresponding slip decreased gradually with the increase of corrosion age and size of BFRP bars, and ultimate slip also decreased sharply. The ascending segment of bond-slip curve tends to be more rigid and the descending segment tends to be softer after corrosion. A horizontal end in bond-slip curve indicates that the friction between BFRP bars and concrete decreased sharply.

In this paper, the influences of parameters such as the bond length, surface textures of reinforcement, reinforcement type and stirrups restraint were considered. Pull-out failure, splitting failure and splitting-pullout failure modes were observed during the test. The slip at the free end always lagged behind the slip at the loading end and the bond-slip curve of ribbed basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars included the micro-slip stage, slip stage, descent stage, and residual stage. Reducing the bond length and using ribbed-sand coated bars were beneficial to improve the bond performance. Increasing the bond length from 2.5 d to 5 d reduced the bond strength by 49.2%. The application of ribbed-sand coated bars instead of plain bars increased the bond strength by 1202.3%. The difference in bond strength between steel bars, BFRP bars and glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars was small and the bond strengths of the three were much greater than that of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) bars. This was mainly attributed to the different rib forms of the bars. The application of stirrups increased the bond strength by 11.5%, which indicated that the stirrup restraints can improve the bond behavior to a certain extent. Besides, the analysis of the bond-slip curve based on the energy perspective was consistent with test results.

Strut And Tie Model

This study examines the shear behavior of concrete-filled glass-fiber-reinforced-polymer (GFRP) tubes (CFFTs) reinforced with either steel or fiber-reinforced-polymer (FRP) longitudinal rebar. To evaluate the contribution of the GFRP tubes, control specimens with and without steel spirals, instead of the tubes, were also tested. Shear span-to-depth ratios (a/D) of 1 and 2 were considered in 14 three-point bending tests. CFFT specimens with a/D = 1 failed in shear by diagonal tension failure of the concrete core and tube, whereas those with a/D = 2 failed mostly in flexure. Control specimens failed in shear at both a/D = 1 and a/D = 2. The shear strength of CFFT beams was substantially higher than that of control specimens but was dependent on rebar type and size. Some slip occurred between the concrete core and both the GFRP tube and the rebar. It is concluded that shear failure may occur in reinforced CFFTs at a/D ≤ 2. Despite the shear failure of steel-reinforced CFFTs at a/D = 1, the measured moments at failure were only 9% lower than their respective ultimate flexural strengths. A simplified strut-and-tie model was developed, and it showed reasonable agreement with experimental results.Key words: concrete-filled glass-fiber-reinforced-polymer tube (CFFT), concrete-filled, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP), rebar, shear span, shear strength, tube, strut-and-tie model.

Abstract Basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) rebars reinforced coral aggregate concrete is a new type of concrete used in ocean engineering. In order to investigate the bond performance between BFRP rebars and coral concrete, 30 pull-out tests were carried out in 10 groups with different diameters of BFRP rebars, bonding lengths and strength of the coral concrete. The results show that good bonding between BFRP rebars and coral concrete were achieved. The main failure modes can be categorized as BFRP rebars pull out destruction, splitting failure of coral concrete and BFRP rebars fracture. The bond slip ($$\tau{\text{-}}s$$ τ - s ) curves of the BFRP rebars and coral concrete were obtained during the tests. It was found to be similar to the common concrete using fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars. The bond-slip relation can be roughly divided into micro-slip phase, slip phase, decline phase, and the residual stress stage. The bond between BFRP rebars and coral concrete increases with the increase of the bond length and diameter of BFRP rebars, but the average bond stress will decrease. Moreover, increasing the strength of coral concrete is effective to improve the bond performance of BFRP rebars. In this paper, the continuous bond slip model (Gao et al. in J Zhengzhou Univ 23:1–5, 2002) was used to represent the $$\tau{\text{-}}s$$ τ - s constitutive relationship of BFRP rebars and coral concrete. The analysis show that the proposed model has a high degree of accuracy in representing $$\tau{\text{-}}s$$ τ - s curve of BFRP rebars and coral concrete.

AbstractThe article describes an experimental study on the bond–slip performance between the pultruded glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) tube and the nano-CaCO3 concrete. Taking the nano-CaCO3 concrete strength and GFRP tube thickness as primary parameters, nine specimens were designed and tested to study the influence of these parameters on the bond strength of the specimens. Besides, three specimens filled with the ordinary concrete were also tested by using the push-out tests to make comparisons with the bond performance of the specimens filled with nano-CaCO3 concrete. A total of four push-out tests were conducted on each specimen. The experimental results indicate that there are two types of axial load–slip curves for each specimen in four push-out tests. Moreover, comparison of the results of the push-out tests in the same direction shows that the bond failure load of the specimen decreases with the increase in the number of push-out tests. Based on the analysis of the test results, it is shown that the bond performance between the GFRP tube and the nano-CaCO3 concrete is better than that between the GFRP tube and the ordinary concrete. Furthermore, as the nano-CaCO3 concrete strength increases, the bond strength of the specimens decreases, indicating that the concrete strength has a negative effect on the bond strength. When the nano-CaCO3 concrete strength is relatively smaller (C20), the bond strength of the specimens decreases with the increase in the thickness of the GFRP tube. However, when the nano-CaCO3 concrete strength is relatively larger (C30 and C40), the bond strength of the specimens increases as the thickness of the GFRP tube increases.

Melalui simulasi ini, kekuatan FRP, bilangan lapisan ketebalan FRP dan susunatur FRP dapat ditentukan. melalui keputusan–keputusan yang diperolehi, pressure–impulse diagram (P–I) bagi tiang yang diperkukuhkan dengan FRP dapat dibentuk. Kata kunci: Pengukuhan; beban letupan; FRP; P–I diagrams There are only limited studies that directly correlate the increase in structural capacities in resisting the blast loads with the fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthenin. In this paper, numerical analyses of dynamic response and damage of reinforced concrete (RC) columns strengthened with FRP to blast loads are carried out using the commercial software LS–DYNA. A series of simulations are performed to predict the blast response and damage of columns with different FRP type. The simulations also involved parametric studies by varying the FRP thickness, configuration, different column dimension, concrete strength, and longitudinal and transverse reinforcement ratio. The numerical results are used to develop pressure–impulse (P–I) diagrams of FRP strengthened RC columns. Based on the numerical results, the empirical formulae are derived to calculate the pressure and impulse asymptotes of the P–I diagrams of RC columns strengthened with FRP.

Bolt-hole clearance affects the failure mode on the bolted connection system of pultruded fiber-reinforced polymer plastic (PFRP) members. The various geometric parameters, such as the shape and cross-sectional area of the structural members, commonly reported in many references were used to validate the bolt-hole clearance. This study investigates the effects of the bolt-hole clearance in single-bolt connections of PFRP structural members. Single-bolt connection tests were planned using different bolt-hole clearances (e.g., tight-fit and clearances of 0.5 mm to 3.0 mm with 0.5 mm intervals) and uniaxial tension is applied on the test specimens. Most of the specimens failed in two sequential failure modes: bearing failure occurred and the shear-out failure followed. Test results on the bolt-hole clearances are compared with results in the previous research.
